A Windows PC, depending on which version you are on, should have a network option that lets you use the WiFi SSID and password. Look at Network & internet settings.
To use WPS to connect, try reading the manual for the WNDR4500.
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.
Check the section in the manual WPS Wizard

I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
By the way, the WNDR4500 dates back to 2013, several generations behind current technology.
